I liked it, there are a couple of things that I noticed playing: dash cooldown it not indicated so it's hard to actually use it reasonably, the other is enemy spawn point doesn't seem to care about where you are (can spawn on top of you and shoots don't work in that case so you need to save the dash for that case). Apart from those 2, art and the idea of health passing trough enemy are really well done

Thank you for the constructive criticism :)

I really like this game. The art is perty, audio fits perfectly, hit sounds are a grat form of indication (i love hitmarkers lol). Overall it felt nice playing the game. I think it's pretty clever that your bullets have a limited range so that you cannot shoot them from far out. If I were to give some suggestions it would be perhaps to limit the firerate, and/or add hold to fire, and maybe some UI showing when the dash is on/off cooldown. Overall A really good game, Well done!

Very polished entry, I really enjoyed it! The audio and visuals were really well done, and the gameplay felt very satisfying - I managed to beat wave 5 :)

A couple of comments I had:

  • Resetting the ghost position every wave felt a bit annoying, I think the ghost should just stay in the same position.
  • This might affect the balance too much but... I thought it would be cool if the ghost could pass through solid objects but the zombies and skeletons could not :) That would add another layer of strategy.

Overall, really good job!

First of the level and graphics look fantastic! I really enjoyed the game, the controls felt nice, thought I would have loved to play this as a twin stick shooter (No gamepad right now so not sure if that's possible?) I have to say the dash for healing is AWESOME! I would like to know when I can dash though, a cool down timer, or some indication it's ready to dash.
I managed to get to Wave 5, one thing I didn't like and would change is each wave increase it resets my ghost, which caught me out a few times as I'd be in a corner, then suddenly back to where I started, with little indication of why, I thought it was a bug until I realised it was wave increase, this is my only neg, the rest I really enjoyed and wanna try get further than Wave 5

Excellent, little polished game. Great art. The dash to heal mechanic is key differentiator imo. Great Job!
